It was fine at the beginning, but the last sentence made He Yuzhu blush.

Tian Xiaocao said to He Daqing, "Daqing, Zhuzi will be nineteen after the Chinese New Year, right? And when will Zhuzi start his apprenticeship? Let's make plans for Zhuzi's marriage."

He Daqing waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, there's still a year left. His master said he can become a master at any time. I want him to become a master next year, and then work in Cuihualou for two years before looking for a job. I'll try to squeeze out all his master's skills."

Tian Xiaocao patted He Daqing and said, "Don't worry about this. You men, Zhuzi, come here. I have to explain this to you in advance. Don't think that I'm going to find you a partner and kick you out on the first day I come.

Your father also told me about your compound. Don't let me handle this matter. If there is any gossip, people outside will say it doesn't matter. You are overthinking it."

He Yuzhu shook his head and said, "Aunt, that's not possible. My father also told me about your situation. Besides, even if you have that idea, you can't start on the first day, right?"

"Hehe...you, Zhuzi, I'm teaching you. Some things are true but you can't say them in front of others. We'll be a family in the future. I won't take anything you say to heart. What about others? What will they think of you? Right?

Look, auntie, let’s not talk about this for now, let’s talk about finding a wife for you first. You are nineteen this year, let’s look for one first. During this time, you can also get to know more about your future wife’s temperament and character. If she is not suitable, we can find another one.

It's not that easy to find a partner. What's more, your father and you two are both cooks. To put it bluntly, we can't find those second-generation officials, but we can easily choose a common boss.

Whoever is looking for a son-in-law would think that if their daughter marries a cook, she will never have to worry about food, right?

Furthermore, there is a lot of knowledge involved in blind dating. You see, the matchmaker finds two or three bad ones for you. If you think they are not good, you can look for another one. However, all matchmakers have connections. If you find two bad ones, you will become famous in the matchmaker circle and those who have good ones will not introduce you to anyone.

You, just leave this matter to me. I'll take care of it for you after the New Year. Doesn't your aunt also live in this courtyard? We'll check it out for you first, and when we feel it's ready, we'll let you come back and have some contact with each other."

Tian Xiaocao's words left He Yuzhu and He Daqing completely stunned. Finally, He Yuzhu had no choice but to look at his father for help.

He Daqing was speechless too. After a long while, he finally said, "Okay, you will be the mother of two children from now on. I will listen to you."

After saying that, He Daqing changed the subject and took Tian Xiaocao to the yard to recognize people. They called out He Yushui and the little girl Tian Silin. The two little girls were holding bags of candy. He Daqing took Tian Xiaocao and walked to the backyard first.

The first to arrive in the backyard were Xu Wude's family. After all, the two of them were old friends. Besides being classmates, they had carried loads together, and divided the spoils together, so their relationship was still very good. Xu Damao's relationship with He Yuzhu had also eased up now, and they were still the pair of friends who played and fought together. So the Xu family warmly welcomed He Daqing and his party. When they left, Xu Wude's wife told Tian Xiaocao to come and visit her often when he had nothing to do.

Then they went to the home of the second uncle Liu Haizhong. Liu Haizhong didn't dare to say any nonsense in front of He Daqing. After congratulating him, He Daqing gave Liu Haizhong a handful of candy and two handfuls of melon seeds and peanuts as usual.

He went through the whole courtyard slowly, except for two families, the deaf old lady's house in the backyard and Yi Zhonghai's house in the middle courtyard. He Daqing also explained to Tian Xiaocao the grievances between these two families and his family. Tian Xiaocao said she understood, and the two continued to show their affection.

When they arrived at the Jia family in the Central Courtyard, it was Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu who went out to receive them. Jia Zhangshi did not cause any trouble, and to be honest, he did not dare to. No one in this courtyard really dared to go against He Daqing. As for the deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai, they only attacked from behind, and He Daqing was caught off guard, otherwise He Daqing would have killed these two people long ago. Now that the incident is over, he let them go.

They first went to the home of the third uncle Yan Fugui in the front yard and chatted for a while. The third uncle wanted more, so He Daqing smiled and gave Yan Fugui more, saying that this was to give him face by getting married, and there would not be a next time!

Yan Fugui then remembered He Daqing's ability to play tricks on people and quickly said he wouldn't do it again.

Finally they arrived at the store. Just as He Daqing was about to knock on the door, He Yushui had already led Tian Silin into the house, shouting, "Aunt, I've brought the new mother and sister!" He Daqing shook his head, smiled bitterly, and walked into the store with Tian Xiaocao.

Only Shang's mother and Shang Xue were at home, while Shang's father took Shang Qi, Shang Peng and Shang Liang out to take a bath. After all, the water was clean in the morning, and tomorrow was New Year's Day, so they might as well take a bath and have a good new year.

When Shang's mother saw He Yushui running in, she didn't get up and laughed and scolded, "You little Yushui, what are you yelling about? You act like a tomboy all day long, not steady at all." Suddenly she found He Daqing walking in with a woman. She also heard that He Daqing had brought his new wife back, so she didn't go to the He family directly, but waited at home. She quickly got up and asked He Daqing and Tian Xiaocao to sit down. Shang Xue went to pour water. He Daqing hurriedly said, "Xiaoxue, no need. I'll take Xiaocao to get acquainted with the family. Come to my house for dinner tonight. It will be a wedding for us!"

Mother Shang smiled and said, "Brother-in-law... No... From now on, I'd better not call you brother-in-law. I'll call you Brother He. I'm going to divide this family..."

Tian Xiaocao said, "It's okay. I've heard Daqing talk about your family and Daqing's family. I have no objection to you seeing Daqing. In fact, I hope you can still be the same as before. I'm a country girl and don't know how to say polite words. I know that if you are good to others, generally others will be good to you. If that person is not good to you, you don't have to be polite. Sister, do you think I'm right?"

Mother Shang looked at Tian Xiaocao and laughed and said, "Okay, since we've come to this point, we'll go to your place for dinner tonight. Now, you stay here, and we'll chat for a while. Let Xiaoxue play with the two little girls, and let Master He go back. They'll go cook. Wait a minute, my family..."

He Daqing took a look and thought, forget it, just go by yourself, so he got up, said goodbye and went home.

When he got home, he found He Yuzhu still in a daze in the living room. He Daqing was so angry that he laughed at He Yuzhu's silly look. This silly son was confused by Tian Xiaocao and he hasn't reacted yet.

He had no choice but to go forward and slap He Yuzhu on the back of the head. He Yuzhu was startled and turned around to find that it was He Daqing. The resentful look in He Daqing's eyes gave him goose bumps. He laughed and scolded: "What? Do you have any objections? Go and cook. Your aunt is at your aunt's house. You take care of them and ask them to go home for dinner before lunch. Don't eat your first meal at your aunt's house."
